> Thanks. I deteriorated rather quickly the first time I tried memantine. I managed to get through one week before discontinuing it. I am afraid to take it again, but I am desperate. My doctor wants to move in the direction of brain stumulation treatments for me. I can't think of anything left to try. I will say this, though. If cariprazine comes out, I will attempt to use it to substitute for Abilify. Cariprazine is more selective for D3 receptors as a partial agonist. It might treat the negative symptoms of schizophrenia along with depressive disorders more robustly than Abilify.

The poster here writes that he is desperate and that his doctor wants to have him move toward brain stimulation treatments. If the poster is referring to what is known as deep brain stimulation or DBS, be advised that I would like for you to view the following video by a doctor concerning what this procedure entails before you accept that the treatment is supportive because Mr. Hsiung has not intervened to express his views on DBS here, so I would like for you to hear a different doctor and march to the music that you hear.
There is no denying that there are desperate people that will try anything that a doctor advocates. But beware of false doctors, for they could come to you ion sheep's clothing, but inwardly they could be ravening wolves.
When you key in this video, the first letter is has the number one (1) following it and the last character is zero, not the letter "O".
